Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gestures as he speaks at a parliament session in the Knesset, in Jerusalem, Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2010. A senior Palestinian official who said that the Jerusalem's Western Wall isn't holy to Jews said Wednesday that he stood by claims he made in a five-page report, even as it provoked furious reaction from the U.S. and Israel. Netanyahu said Wednesday the report was "a testing point", saying Judaism had a religious, national and a historic connection to the Western Wall." (AP Photo/Tara Todras-Whitehill)
